THE ANGRY CAREGIVER
As a Caregiver, I am angry from morning to night. I wake up in the morning angry and try as I might not to do so, I often fall asleep angry.
Anger is a Noun referencing a strong feeling of displeasure.
Angry is an adjective used to describe the feeling of Anger.
Anger is synonymous with Caregiving. As all the words describing a Caregiver’s feelings are synonyms for “Angry.”
ENRAGED
I am enraged when speaking with Senior Health Care Providers who totally disregard my schedule in making appointments for my Mom. They are oblivious to the fact that my Mother is unable to attend any appointments without me; therefore, my schedule should be taken into consideration.
INFURIATED
I am infuriated when health care professionals with medical training say, “Well you’re not actually a Caregiver and so I can see how this is hard for you.” How f’**king dare you!! Having no medical training does not diminish the fact that I am a Caregiver. And if you were a CARING health professional, CNA, Nurse, Doctor, or Technician, you would not have said something so capriciously.
OUTRAGED
I am outraged whenever I wake up having to use the restroom but must clean an overflowing toilet first.
MAD
I am mad whenever someone asks, “How’s your Mother?”
FURIOUS
I am furious when people casually suggest that I “get some rest” or “take some time for myself.” Please, please explain exactly how I am supposed to do that.
IRATE
I become irate when I am reminded of my prior life—the days before Caregiving.
INFLAMMED
My temper is inflamed when I have prepared a special meal which my Mother fails to appreciate.
IN A HUFF
I stomp around “in a huff,” whenever my Mom refuses to take my advice and I resist the urge to say, “I told you so.”
EXASPERATED
I am exasperated because I have to explain that the television remote is not broken—again and again.
HOPPING MAD
I am hopping mad that I have to be my Mom’s Caregiver because she didn’t have a viable plan for these years of her life. “Hopping Mad,” doesn’t even begin to describe the Anger that I feel about the entire Caregiving Situation because…when I say, “hopping mad,” I almost want to laugh!
I AM Angry and I experience feelings of Anger continuously. The Voice of my Caregiver’s Conscience.
